Hi All.

I’m getting my 4mb line hopefully in the next two weeks (Whenever Telkom installs it) and I just want to know what ISP would be the best to use (Uncapped).
I’m a pretty excessive downloader.. Series, movies, music, games and all that, so I don't want to get Throttled/Shaped to Extinction.
Now to my question!..
What would be the best ISP to choose? I’m Torn between Afrihost and Axxess. I also want a package that includes the ADSL rental.

Any other ISP I could look at that’s almost in the same price range?

Hi llRipTidell,

You can also have look at Web Africa :) http://webafrica.co.za/adsl/ and you can try our trial to see how the Bandwidth fairs http://www.webafrica.co.za/adsl-trial/.
 
Hi Justin.

Thanks for the reply.
Just a question concerning the AUP of Webafrica, what would count as Continuous excessive usage?

That highlighted part means you need Openweb GOLD or SILVER.

Silver is on special now:

No AUP. No Warning letters. No limits. No thresholds.

It just works.
 
I'm with OpenWeb and highly recommend them, but if you must go with a bundled account I'd choose Afrihost over Axxess any day. Afrihost own Axxess by the way, and they both use MTN's network.

Bad idea. Keep your line with Telkom.

If you eve wanna change ISPs you need to transfer back to Telkom anyway and has it's own set of issues.
 
Great stuff, thanks guys..
so let’s way in the measurements here:

Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Afrihost R970.37pm
Axxess R948.37pm
Mweb R932.37pm
Openweb R1172.37pm (Silver didn’t even check Gold)
Webafric R912.37pm
Telkom R942.37pm

Openweb is the most expensive, didn't take the special in to consideration, don't know when the line is installed..
So getting No AUP. No Warning letters. No limits. No thresholds. with openweb seems to be the most reasonable.. we're also 5 people paying the monthly bill, they won’t be contributing as much as me but at least it shaves off a couple of 100's from the end..

HAHA lol... nice reaction, wasn't looking at it, just remembered that they have it.. that was just a stupid question to ask anyway.. I've got a wireless account with them, that's going away very..very soon..

Yeah I think I’m going with the Silver one.. going to start digging deep end of the month, But hey! Want the good stuff, Pay the good stuff, I guess....

Thanks for the support and feedback. I do Appreciate!
:D
 
Openweb or Telkom.

Lol @ WebAfrica punting their silly accounts here and in their uncapped thread asking users to only download from 12am to 6am including weekends.
